No Excess Baggage

About the Book

At age 20, Donna Wolfe followed her new husband on a two-year, round-the-world bicycle tour to produce what she hoped would be a chatty adventure/food memoir, incorporating recipes for whatever was edible or available above the Arctic Circle or in a war zone. But what emerges is a tale of mismatched travel partners as her original and at times hilarious coming-of-age story plays out in 19 countries from London to Sumatra, and a hundred states of mind.

About the Author

Donna Wolfe knew she wanted to be a writer at age 12 when she wrote her first novella. At age 20, she dropped out of college to bicycle across the world with her boyfriend who decided they should get married as a precaution for foreign travel. At 30, she returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s in English at the University of Colorado, Boulder and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing, Literature and Publishing at Emerson College, Boston. Though she misses Colorado, she has made Boston her home for the last 16 years.
